Iranian lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh to receive 2026 Human Rights Award
Iranian human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh has received the Václav Havel Human Rights Prize from the Council of Europe, in recognition of her efforts in defending human rights, opposing the death penalty, and protesting against mandatory hijab laws in Iran, despite repeated arrests and long periods of imprisonment she has faced. Sotoudeh is considered one of the most prominent advocates for women's rights and opponents of the Iranian regime. She is known for her activism in protecting activists, journalists, and minority groups, as well as her campaigns against compulsory hijab laws and capital punishment. She received the award on behalf of her daughter in September 2026. This award is part of her previous international recognitions, reflecting the global acknowledgment of her ongoing struggle for freedom and the rights of Iranians.
